While working on a Quick Drills column for FireRescue magazine, I observed one of our younger firefighters descending the stairs while using an imager.

Like many departments, we have the older, larger imagers, and looking straight down to see the stairs can be a challenge (of course, we shouldn't be walking down the stairs if we can't see them anyway). But, if you tilt the imager so the handle is facing away from you, it’s much easier to see what’s ahead, and you can still see the screen.
